جَنَبَتَيْ is how you say “the two sides” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.

Example sentences

الَّتِي بِجَنَبَتَيْ ذَاكَ الصِّرَاطِ،
which are on the two sides of that path,
بِجَانِبَيْنِ — on the two sides. The bi- glued on the front is a 'with/on' preposition, and it forces the noun after it into the genitive (the 'after a preposition' ending). The noun itself is in the dual, Arabic's special 'exactly two' form, so the two sides are built into the word's shape rather than spelled out with a separate 'two'.
